Note: I'll keep the old version up while I'm rewriting. When re:FD is complete, I'll probably delete the original.
Madness Flower doesn't own Kingdom Hearts or any of its characters or Soundtrack, including Lazy Afternoons and A New Day is Dawning.
edit (2011):
So... it's been a long time since I posted anything in this account. Kinda ran away to improve and never got the courage to return. u.u
This was revised by yours truly and... Hope you like it.
"Too far away from me" is still mine. I did compose it, but... gah, it's not finished yet. Darn arrangement.
~Prologue~
When Fate Wants to Play
[...you should stay away.]
oOoOo
Atlantica - Royal Library:
A New Day is Dawning
oOoOo
A boy barely in his teens sat at a shady corner, leafing through the pages of a yellowing book. The title, Advanced Studies on the Human Heart, was engraved in a shade of red so deep he was sure it was blood. Further examination led him to believe it was blood. The faint smell just confirmed his suspicions.
He pushed a stray lock of vivid blue hair with a lazy finger, sighing uninterestedly. His name was Ienzo.
After several hours, he stood up. The book had been pretty interesting, if not too short for his tastes. 'Of course, one should not judge anything by size.' Seeing as he was rather... short for his age, the boy took those words to heart. Stretching, he exited the elegant building and went for a walk. He'd never admit it aloud, but this world was beautiful.
The weavers of Fate were having an excellent afternoon, if not a tad boring...
oOoOo
Paradise Beach:
Lazy Afternoons
oOoOo
The sunset was quite mesmerizing, he noted idly. In Radiant Garden, the star wasn't as bright, exuding a melancholic, soothing aura. Here, it shined with invigorating passion, almost blinding whoever gazed into the horizon.
Suddenly, his ears caught a distant murmur. Following the sound, he was beginning to make out words, lyrics to be exact. Nostalgia lacing its fingers on his heart, he ran to the source of this angelical song.
A silhouette stood on a rock. Squinting, he realized it was a merman. His feet felt cold - when had he stepped on the water? Paying it no heed, Ienzo approached the figure, step by cautious step.
By the time he could see the singer's face, the waves were licking at his thighs. He bitterly regretted not being able to swim. Taking a tentative step, he froze. Those eyes... they were the clearest blue he'd ever seen. Stunned, he didn't notice when the song stopped in a strangled chord, nor did he realize the merman was eyeing him with curiosity, blond hair fluttering with the breeze.
"Ah!" Ienzo let a soft cry when the instrument the mythic creature was holding suddenly melt and joined the water, its owner quickly following.
He didn't dare move a muscle. Melody still playing in his head, Ienzo made sure to commit the lyrics to memory, if not for their beauty, to remember the voice that gave it life.
There's a paradise
That I will never, never reach
There's a paradise
It's just inside your heart
Since I lost you the world is gray
Emptiness settles, I'm nobody
Wishing for your return is meaningless
I can do nothing but pray
And sometimes hope that maybe
I'll forget you tender caress
You are too far away, forever lost.
Flying higher than I'll ever do.
How come I didn't notice what it cost
A fool's mistake- eternal grief.
You are too far away, forever lost.
Heaven's high, for I'm in Hell without you.
Meanwhile, the goddesses of Fate were enjoying afternoon tea.
Thanks for reading. I'm so happy I could dance in front of the English class, even if me ish bookworm. I'm not supposed to dance. I can't dance. On to the next chapter!
edit(2011): I'm still a geek... and can't dance to save my life. u.u
